This book is new in the way it tackles the problem of imagining performances of Shakespeare as you read his plays.
This book helps the reader make sense of the most commonly studied writer in the world. It starts with a brief explanation of how Shakespeare''s writings have come down to us as a series of scripts for actors in the early modern theatre industry of London. The main chapters of the book approach the texts through a series of questions: ''what''s changed since Shakespeare''s time?'', ''to what uses has Shakespeare been put?'', and ''what value is there in Shakespeare?'' These questions go to the heart of why we study Shakespeare at all, which question the book encourages the readers to answer for themselves in relation to their own critical writing.
